Over the years we have suggested a number of high-quality things you can do and enjoy during summertime and Christmastime. but we have hitherto neglected to address the important Spring Break.  Part of the reason, I’m sure, is Spring Break tends to be shorter than those other breaks, and with its brevity comes a sense of panic, desperation, and obduracy — counterproductive to a mini-vacation, that’s for sure.  Perhaps these brief suggestions on high-quality fancy experiences tp enjoy during the brief-yet-important Spring Break can help propel you through the doldrums of fourth quarter and whet your appetite for Summer Break 2016!

1. Watch Babylon 5 from the beginning (the only way to do it).
2. Go to the park for a nice, relaxing picnic lunch.
3. Play a fun board game or two, like those suggested in the last issue.
4. Walk to the nearest ice cream store, eat a large multi-topping ice cream treat, then walk back home.
5. Research and plan out your 2016 Yard Sale schedule.
6. Call up the Encyclopedia Britannica people and negotiate for one of the remaining Great Books of the Western World sets they still have in one of their secret warehouses.
7. Watch NewsRadio from the beginning and find out why Jimmie has fancy plans … and pants to match (it’s actually “Jimmy,” but you’ll soon find out why the switch).
8. Start reading The Wheel of Time.  It’s never too late.
9. Read the brand-new instant classic by the great Dr. MacLeod, The Suffering Servant of the Lord, on sale now from ECS Ministries (www.ecsministries.org).
10. Watch Babylon 5 again.  You’ll be glad you did.

See, plenty of great things you can do in just one relaxing week of Spring Break.  Until next time, friends!  See you for our big 20th issue!
